CooperVision University Tour! Join Us And Live Up Your Life!

In a momentous and unprecedented move, Cardinal Robert Francis Prevost of Chicago has been elected as Pope Leo XIV, becoming the first American to assume the papacy in the history of the Roman Catholic Church. His election by the College of Cardinals concludes a swift two-day conclave and ushers in a new era for the Church, following the death of Pope Francis in April.
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/bf6e8d65158cb8ec37bdf929f5d0807082c4f22413fb226a78ba14ba6c8f6c2b" />
Prevost, 69, is now the 267th successor to Saint Peter, and his appointment was met with rapturous cheers from the crowd of over 100,000 gathered in St Peter&rsquo;s Square. The announcement, marked by the traditional white smoke from the Sistine Chapel chimney and the ringing of bells across Rome, was followed by his first public appearance on the balcony of St Peter&rsquo;s Basilica.
&ldquo;Peace be with you all,&rdquo; declared Pope Leo XIV in Italian, before switching to Spanish to reach a broader segment of the global Catholic community. &ldquo;Help us build bridges, through dialogue and encounter, so that we may always be a people of peace.&rdquo;
A Life of Service: From Chicago to Peru and Beyond
&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/f80908362daf25c026de7a9e349ab110fffae47b4c0c6672982cedf14dc67541" />
Born in 1955 in Chicago to Spanish and Franco-Italian parents, Prevost was raised in a devout Catholic household and ordained in 1982. Just three years later, he embarked on a missionary journey to Peru, where he would serve for over two decades&mdash;first as a parish priest and seminary teacher in Trujillo, then later as Bishop of Chiclayo.
Prevost&rsquo;s deep ties to Peru led to his eventual naturalisation as a Peruvian citizen. He remains a beloved figure in the country, particularly among marginalised communities, where he was known for advocating for the poor, fostering inclusion, and promoting social justice. Upon news of his election, the bells of Lima&rsquo;s cathedral rang in celebration, and President Dina Boluarte joyously declared, &ldquo;The Pope is Peruvian; God loves Peru!&rdquo;
In 2014, he was appointed bishop by Pope Francis and was later named a cardinal in 2023. He played a pivotal role in one of Francis&rsquo; most significant reforms&mdash;adding women to the Dicastery for Bishops, the powerful body that oversees episcopal nominations worldwide.
A Papacy of Bridge-Building and Continuity
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/3bc14148cc02063de1c9069d7b3104c89d8e34d6e9f7301d6b184cf4a808caa8" />
Pope Leo XIV has signalled his intent to continue many of Francis&rsquo; reformist efforts, particularly in the areas of social justice, care for migrants, and environmental stewardship. He has spoken out against policies that marginalise refugees and immigrants and previously criticised the Trump administration&rsquo;s hardline stance on migration.
In his first speech as pope, he paid warm tribute to his predecessor, recalling Pope Francis&rsquo; final blessing on Easter Sunday: &ldquo;We still keep in our ears that weak, but always courageous, voice of Pope Francis blessing Rome.&rdquo;
Leo XIV has also expressed a strong environmental ethic, advocating for action on climate change and supporting Vatican initiatives like the installation of solar panels and use of electric vehicles. &ldquo;We must move from words to action,&rdquo; he said last year, calling for a &ldquo;relationship of reciprocity&rdquo; with nature.
Social Doctrine and the Legacy of Leo XIII 
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/dc04bb69fabc1c1464faa3d0e1c31efbb0cc32f824679b97b2557b437d3e54ec" />
The choice of the name &ldquo;Leo&rdquo; is rich with symbolic meaning. The last Pope to bear the name, Leo XIII (1878&ndash;1903), was a vocal advocate for workers&rsquo; rights during the industrial revolution and is considered one of the founding voices of Catholic social teaching. By selecting this name, Leo XIV has aligned himself with a legacy of defending the vulnerable and addressing inequality.
Vatican spokesman Matteo Bruni confirmed the connection, stating the new pope&rsquo;s name is &ldquo;a clear reference to the social doctrine of the Church.&rdquo;
Observers also note that the name Leo hearkens back even further to Pope Leo I, who famously persuaded Attila the Hun not to attack Rome&mdash;a reminder of the Church&rsquo;s role in diplomacy and peacemaking.
The Road Ahead: Reforms, Unity, and Global Challenges
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/c3e49e62604ac1770c4a32e2ba55c7985ea72bb6ff8b00d23107e714228ce0b5" />
Leo XIV takes the helm of the Catholic Church at a time of immense global turbulence&mdash;politically, socially, and spiritually. Beyond asserting the Church&rsquo;s moral authority on the world stage, he will need to navigate internal tensions, unite a diverse and often divided Church, and address long-standing issues such as the sexual abuse scandal.
Though his stance on some issues, such as LGBT inclusion, remains somewhat ambiguous, he has supported Pope Francis&rsquo; decision to permit blessings for same-sex couples under certain conditions, while also stressing the need for local interpretation and cultural sensitivity.
His leadership will also be watched closely for how he steers the Church on questions of gender inclusion. As Cardinal, he voiced strong support for women&rsquo;s participation in key Vatican decision-making roles, saying in 2024: &ldquo;Their presence contributes significantly to the discernment process in choosing our bishops.&rdquo;
Looking to the Future
Pope Leo XIV&rsquo;s papal inauguration is expected within the coming week, featuring a Mass attended by political and religious leaders from around the globe. Until then, he will lead a Mass for cardinals in the Sistine Chapel and recite the Regina Caeli in St Peter&rsquo;s Square on Sunday, followed by a special audience for members of the global media on Monday.
While much remains to be seen, Pope Leo XIV&rsquo;s first words offer a clear vision of hope, humility, and unity: &ldquo;Evil will not prevail. We are all in God&rsquo;s hands. The world needs His light&hellip; let us come together, hand in hand with God.&rdquo;
His election marks not just a historical first for the United States, but a powerful signal that the Catholic Church is embracing a global, outward-facing vision&mdash;one grounded in compassion, justice, and bridge-building across cultures and continents.

“Evil will not prevail,” said Pope Leo as he addressed the crowd of 100,000 at St Peter’s Square.

History Made: Robert Prevost Becomes Pope Leo XIV, The First American Pontiff

Malaysia&rsquo;s national carmaker Perodua has taken a major leap in its electrification journey with the official unveiling of its first electric vehicle (EV) prototype at the Malaysia Autoshow 2025. Marking a significant milestone for the brand and the local automotive industry, the EV is said to be near production-ready and remains on schedule for a market launch by the final quarter of this year.
This much-anticipated model is poised to be one of the most affordable EVs on the Malaysian market, with an expected price tag of under RM80,000 thanks to a new battery leasing initiative.
Nearing Production: Final Stages of Testing and Pilot Builds
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/51e702e111fb4693e8bb4b646ab03639d69c1260692d87ca6c7851607b74e79d" />
Perodua President and Chief Executive Officer Datuk Seri Zainal Abidin Ahmad confirmed that the EV is currently undergoing the final stage of homologation, with pilot production slated to commence between September and October 2025. The company remains confident in its schedule, expecting to complete all preparatory stages and begin mass production in time for a full launch by the end of the year.
The vehicle showcased at the Autoshow is a close representation of the final product and reflects Perodua&rsquo;s strategy to offer a practical yet modern EV tailored for the everyday Malaysian driver.
Key Performance Specs: Range, Speed, and Charging
&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/2090ec1be98a23442126b9f83c27b5877af4f5bbae380f28d0802f37df51ed70" />
At the heart of the vehicle lies a lithium-ion battery pack supplied by leading Chinese battery manufacturer CATL. With a capacity of approximately 50kWh, the EV boasts an estimated driving range of 400 kilometres on a single charge&mdash;sufficient for both urban and short-distance intercity travel.
In terms of performance, the car can accelerate from 0 to 100km/h in under seven seconds and achieves a top speed of 165km/h, making it well-suited for highway use. It also comes equipped with Level 2 Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS), providing features like adaptive cruise control and lane-keeping assistance. The model is designed to meet the stringent 5-star A-NCAP safety standards, reinforcing its appeal as a family-friendly and secure choice.
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/f54becee5d9d8d5267d8157e882a22b20de79c151a7955337c90224574b47275" />
Charging flexibility has also been addressed. With an 8-hour AC charging time for a full charge, the vehicle is ideal for overnight home charging. For faster turnarounds, a 60kW DC fast charging system can recharge the battery from 30% to 80% in just 30 minutes, ideal for those needing a quick top-up on the go.
A New Ownership Model: Battery Leasing Introduced 
&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/7999c691bf801682a16a2a4806dd4b290c9c05af1b4516f474314267519dab02" />
In an effort to keep costs low and make EV ownership more accessible, Perodua will offer its new EV under a unique battery leasing model. This approach enables the base car to be priced under RM80,000, separating the battery cost from the vehicle&rsquo;s upfront price.
Buyers will have several flexible options:
<ul>
<li>Purchase the vehicle and lease the battery under a monthly subscription plan;</li>
<li>Buy both the vehicle and the battery outright;</li>
<li>Finance the entire package through conventional auto loans.</li>
</ul>
While the finer details of the leasing arrangements are still being finalised, Zainal has confirmed that those who lease the battery will enjoy full coverage for replacements during the subscription period. Customers opting to purchase the battery outright will benefit from an eight-year warranty but will need to bear the cost of replacement beyond that period.
Although Perodua will not offer a battery swapping service at this stage, customers facing battery-related issues can have the high-voltage unit replaced in just 30 minutes at designated Perodua service centres. Each battery will also be embedded with a unique identification system for real-time tracking and safety verification.
Built with Malaysia in Mind: Local Components and Long-Term Value
&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/e43e50b9a5cbec1219f4c35f2afbdd350342355da05e66cb3bd5b64e66b302ce" />
Perodua is placing a strong emphasis on local content for its debut EV. Zainal revealed that the company is targeting a local component usage rate of over 60% for critical parts, helping to support domestic suppliers and reduce long-term production costs. The vehicle will be assembled at Perodua&rsquo;s new facility in Rawang, Selangor, further anchoring its role in Malaysia&rsquo;s industrial ecosystem.
In addressing a common concern among EV owners&mdash;resale value&mdash;Perodua has taken proactive measures to ensure the model maintains strong long-term worth. Zainal stated that the vehicle has been engineered to avoid the steep depreciation often associated with used EVs, which typically stems from battery performance uncertainty. With affordable battery replacement options and a robust service network, the company believes it can preserve resale values better than most competitors.
Production and Market Strategy: Mass-Market Ambitions
What began as a small-scale experimental project has now been elevated into a full-fledged mass production endeavour. Perodua&rsquo;s initial monthly production target is set at 500 units, but there are plans to scale up to as many as 2,000 units per month depending on demand and capacity.
While Zainal did not disclose specific sales targets, he acknowledged that the company is treating this launch as a crucial pilot to gauge consumer interest. Market reception will play a key role in determining expansion plans and the introduction of future EV models.
Future Prospects: Infrastructure and Innovation on the Horizon
Perodua is also exploring the possibility of introducing a battery swapping model in the future, but this depends heavily on the readiness of Malaysia&rsquo;s national EV infrastructure and market receptiveness. Additionally, the company is studying the implementation of a government-supported &ldquo;battery passport&rdquo; system, which would enable rapid battery authentication and seamless swapping, should the ecosystem mature in that direction.
In the meantime, Perodua is focused on ensuring that its current offering is reliable, cost-effective, and aligned with Malaysian driving needs.
A Defining Moment for Perodua and Malaysian EV Market
Perodua&rsquo;s upcoming electric vehicle signals a bold new chapter not just for the automaker, but for Malaysia&rsquo;s automotive landscape. By combining affordability, practicality, and a commitment to local development, the carmaker is well-positioned to help drive mass EV adoption in the country.
As the countdown begins toward its Q4 2025 launch, industry watchers and potential buyers alike will be closely observing how this landmark vehicle reshapes expectations&mdash;and possibly sets the benchmark for homegrown electric mobility in Southeast Asia.

Perodua Unveils First Electric Vehicle, Targets Q4 2025 Launch Under RM80,000

British pop sensation Henry Moodie is set to return to Malaysia this July, this time for his first-ever solo headline concert in the country. Following a string of successful performances in Kuala Lumpur last year and earlier this February, the rising star will launch his much-anticipated &ldquo;Henry Moodie 2025 Asia Tour&rdquo; with an electrifying show at Zepp Kuala Lumpur on 16 July 2025 (Wednesday).
Adding star power to the event, Bradley Simpson, frontman of the chart-topping British band The Vamps, will make a special guest appearance during the concert.
From Viral Stardom to Asia Tour Headliner
&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/df04642f5203a1494e3e7923b600876100d3a8281084ed7131b10ad71a1d983c" />
At just 21, Henry Moodie has quickly emerged as one of the most exciting young talents in the UK pop scene, captivating global audiences with his emotionally raw songwriting and heartfelt performances. Born in Guildford in 2004, Moodie began writing songs at the age of 11 and later trained at BIMM music school, honing his skills before launching his solo career. His breakout came in 2022 with &ldquo;You Were There For Me,&rdquo; a self-produced track written in his childhood bedroom that went viral on TikTok and garnered over 90 million streams on Spotify.
<iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/OqEc_169ywY" width="560" height="314" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe>
His true rise to global prominence came with the 2023 single &ldquo;Drunk Text,&rdquo; a runaway viral hit that amassed over 600 million streams and secured him a spot among the Top 10 most viewed UK artists on TikTok in both 2022 and 2024. Fan favourites like &ldquo;Beat Up Car,&rdquo; &ldquo;Pick Up The Phone,&rdquo; and &ldquo;Eighteen&rdquo; further cemented his place as a rising star known for weaving themes of mental health, heartbreak, and youthful vulnerability into polished pop hooks.
Moodie&rsquo;s 2024 world tour saw sold-out shows across the UK, Europe, the US, and Australia, reflecting his growing international fanbase. With two EPs under his belt&mdash;In All of My Lonely Nights and Good Old Days&mdash;and his debut album set to drop later this year under Sony Music&rsquo;s Columbia Records and Robots &amp; Humans, Henry Moodie&rsquo;s momentum shows no signs of slowing down. Backed by over 600 million global streams, award nods, and viral moments, he&rsquo;s poised to become a defining voice of his generation.
First Solo Concert in Malaysia
&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/21a9fff6fb11f0193125f59a0eb931f5748e90fb57864974a2af389d6f48fac6" />
While this marks Moodie&rsquo;s first solo ticketed show in Malaysia, he&rsquo;s no stranger to the local scene. Malaysian fans had the opportunity to catch him live during a free showcase at The Exchange TRX in May 2024 and at the Maybelline Sunkisser event in February 2025. Both appearances highlighted the singer&rsquo;s growing popularity in the region.
Now, with a full concert experience on offer, fans can look forward to an unforgettable evening filled with heartfelt lyrics, catchy hooks, and Moodie&rsquo;s signature charisma.
Ticketing Details and Pre-Sale Dates
Organised by Live Nation Malaysia, tickets for the KL concert will be released in phases, with exclusive pre-sales available before the general public sale. Here's what you need to know:

In case you missed it, Henry Moodie dropped his latest single &ldquo;Indigo&rdquo; back in March, a heartfelt track that explores the intensity of love through the symbolic lens of the colour indigo&mdash;often associated with intimacy, longing, and emotional depth. In the song, Henry lays bare his yearning for someone deeply significant, describing the overwhelming nature of that emotion as almost &ldquo;evil&rdquo; due to the way it traps him in a cycle of memories and aching desire. At its core, Indigo captures the bittersweet paradox of love&mdash;the joy it brings, and the sorrow that comes with missing someone who once felt like everything.
As for his highly anticipated debut album, fans will have to be patient a little longer. In the meantime, you can stream his other releases below:

Henry Moodie To Kick Off First Asia Headline Tour In Kuala Lumpur This July

Bolt, one of Europe&rsquo;s leading mobility platforms, has introduced a notable upgrade to its ride-hailing service in Malaysia by fully integrating toll fares into the ride fare shown before booking. The company now stands as the first e-hailing provider in the country to roll out this feature, offering passengers and drivers a more seamless, transparent experience.
This enhancement, while seemingly minor from a technical standpoint, addresses a major operational pain point that has long affected the local ride-hailing industry: how tolls are handled. Until now, toll charges were typically calculated separately and often settled manually between drivers and passengers after the trip&mdash;leading to pricing disputes, delayed reimbursements, and general confusion on both ends.
With this update, the full fare&mdash;including any tolls incurred along the route&mdash;is calculated and shown upfront in the app, allowing passengers to see the total cost before confirming their ride.
Understanding Malaysia&rsquo;s Toll Landscape
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/5d61d2fbb2c3f129970c78e6b22cf80910fd0c88fb2545e716f076ad6cdc39be" />
Malaysia&rsquo;s road system includes nearly 200 toll booths operating under three different systems: open, closed, and hybrid. As a result, determining the correct toll charge for any given route can be complicated, particularly in dense urban areas such as the Klang Valley, where expressways and toll roads are an everyday part of commuting.
Bolt says approximately 30% of its rides in Malaysia currently pass through at least one toll. This makes the toll integration feature highly relevant for a large portion of its user base, both in terms of accuracy and convenience.
Afzan Lutfi, General Manager of Bolt Malaysia, said in a statement: &ldquo;Integrating toll fares directly into our ride calculations reflects our understanding of everyday driving challenges in Malaysia. We know that tolls are an essential part of the driving experience here, and by automating the process, we eliminate unnecessary guesswork for both partner drivers and passengers.&rdquo;
Improved Transparency for Passengers
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/d10f80dd1ace28208695dd87fe6e16e2fa8c3e2684a7a8c1296646fd36ec8a98" />
With this move, Bolt is addressing one of the most common sources of frustration among ride-hailing passengers&mdash;hidden or unexpected costs. By displaying the final fare (inclusive of tolls) before the ride begins, Bolt offers a &ldquo;what you see is what you pay&rdquo; model that enhances customer trust and reduces the chances of disputes.
It also eliminates the need for passengers to carry extra cash or manually reimburse drivers at the end of a ride, something that had become particularly inconvenient during cashless transactions or high-traffic hours.
Although other e-hailing platforms, such as Grab, have teased similar initiatives in neighbouring countries like Singapore, none have yet introduced this feature locally in Malaysia&mdash;making Bolt&rsquo;s implementation a first in the market.
Operational Efficiency for Drivers
The integration is equally beneficial to partner drivers, who no longer need to manually track, calculate, or input toll charges post-trip. This change removes a layer of administrative work, particularly during busy hours, and ensures that drivers are properly compensated for every toll incurred during the journey.
Rahimah Ismail, a Bolt driver based in the Klang Valley, shared her experience: &ldquo;Before this, tracking tolls during peak periods was tricky. Now, everything is upfront&mdash;it saves time and avoids misunderstandings with passengers.&rdquo;
Bolt claims that this update is part of its broader mission to support driver earnings and improve efficiency. The platform is also working on further enhancements, including refined pickup distance management and more streamlined access to driver earnings. These updates, unveiled during Bolt&rsquo;s recent Raya Open House and driver engagement session, are based on direct feedback from the company&rsquo;s partner community.
A Tailored Approach to the Malaysian Market
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/7de203c9083ced6f2ed4dd340d147a07b19549a758a175dd28fbcd354ac22c73" />
By focusing on small but meaningful local adaptations, Bolt is positioning itself as a platform that understands the nuances of driving and commuting in Malaysia. Toll roads are an inescapable reality for many Malaysians, and addressing this challenge with a practical tech solution shows the company&rsquo;s commitment to localising its service.
In contrast to a one-size-fits-all approach, Bolt&rsquo;s strategy reflects a growing awareness among international tech platforms: to succeed in Malaysia, understanding and adapting to on-the-ground realities is key.
As Afzan noted, &ldquo;At Bolt, we believe that greater transparency leads to better experiences, and this feature is part of our wider commitment to making urban mobility more reliable, fair, and convenient for everyone. We look forward to rolling out more locally relevant innovations in the months ahead.&rdquo;
Redefining Ride-Hailing in Malaysia
Bolt&rsquo;s toll integration may appear to be a simple feature on paper, but in practice, it significantly improves the overall e-hailing experience. By reducing disputes, simplifying operations, and improving cost clarity, Bolt is redefining what passengers and drivers can expect from a ride-hailing platform.
With continuous updates and a strong focus on user and driver feedback, Bolt is not only competing with more established players like Grab&mdash;it is also setting new standards for how ride-hailing should work in Malaysia.
This update is part of a broader trend towards building smarter, more efficient urban mobility systems&mdash;where both drivers and riders benefit from less friction, more reliability, and fairer earnings and fares.

Bolt Becomes First E-Hailing Platform In Malaysia To Include Toll Charges In Upfront Ride Fares

Shopee sellers are bracing for yet another increase in operational costs as the e-commerce platform confirmed a hike in its SPayLater seller fee. The change, set to take effect on 8 May 2025, will see the fee rise from 3.5% to 4.5% for all completed orders involving the SPayLater payment option.
The update was announced through Shopee&rsquo;s official Seller Education Hub, continuing a trend of rising charges for merchants using the platform.
What Is SPayLater? 
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/a62796e4303ff33bf724897f79a3f39b982bad43119b1080a6710fedfa3de146" />
SPayLater is Shopee&rsquo;s Buy Now, Pay Later (BNPL) scheme, designed to give buyers flexibility in managing their purchases. The feature enables customers to split their payments over installment plans ranging from one to 24 months. Instalments up to three months typically carry no extra fees for buyers, but longer tenures can incur charges of up to 36%, depending on the duration.
However, while buyers may choose whether or not to use SPayLater, sellers are automatically enrolled in the programme with no option to opt out. This means they must absorb the associated transaction fee regardless of whether they benefit directly from the instalment feature.
Why Are Sellers Frustrated?
&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/e816e805f983200358e1b1830eb38cfdc3be9218e22e47533de142280683cf1c" />
The fee hike has been met with widespread frustration among Shopee merchants, many of whom took to online seller communities to express their discontent. One recurring point of criticism is the lack of transparency&mdash;Shopee has not provided any formal explanation for the increase.
Many sellers are questioning why they are being penalised when it is ultimately the buyer&rsquo;s decision to use the SPayLater facility. The platform&rsquo;s insistence on making SPayLater mandatory for eligible sellers has only fuelled further resentment.
A number of sellers have even suggested raising their prices to cushion the impact of the new fee, potentially making Shopee less competitive for buyers as a result.
Sellers Speak Out: &ldquo;It&rsquo;s Getting Too Much&rdquo;
Among those voicing concern is Loh, a power tool seller who requested partial anonymity. Speaking to local media, Loh said that the compounding cost of selling on Shopee&mdash;including this new SPayLater fee&mdash;is driving him to reconsider the platform entirely.
&ldquo;My business has to contend with more and more extra fees, and I&rsquo;d need to hire someone just to operate and manage the sales channel,&rdquo; he said. &ldquo;That&rsquo;s pushed my business away from focusing too much effort towards selling on Shopee.&rdquo;
A Pattern of Increasing Charges
&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/5268806b0bc67a485230899cca302a30408a47ee615a61836d3eb4fcd5c7d8bc" />
This latest update follows a previous hike in August 2024, when Shopee increased its general Transaction Fee for sellers from 2% to 3.5%&mdash;a move that excluded SPayLater and credit card payments at the time. That change, too, received criticism from small business owners struggling to maintain margins on the platform.
It&rsquo;s also worth noting that the new 4.5% SPayLater fee is subject to Malaysia&rsquo;s 8% Sales and Service Tax (SST), effectively making the total cost to sellers even higher.
Shopee&rsquo;s Justification &mdash; and What&rsquo;s Missing
While Shopee has highlighted that SPayLater can increase a seller&rsquo;s gross merchandise value by offering flexible payments to buyers, it has not justified the fee hike directly or provided any context for the additional cost burden. The omission has left many sellers feeling alienated, especially as BNPL platforms typically share costs across both buyers and sellers in a more transparent manner.
What&rsquo;s Next for Shopee Sellers?
As sellers scramble to adjust to the updated fee structure, questions remain about Shopee&rsquo;s long-term strategy and its impact on small and medium-sized businesses. If costs continue to rise without improved support or clearer communication, more sellers like Loh may look to alternative platforms or offline sales.
For now, the 4.5% fee for SPayLater orders will go into effect from 8 May 2025, and sellers will have no choice but to comply &mdash; or reconsider their future on the platform.

To offset the higher fee, some sellers may begin raising their product prices.
